Each time you need to add one teaspoon of oil and work it into the scalp so that it does not result in a dripping mess.
Once you have covered the entire scalp, you should start the application through the length of your hair: take oil, rub it onto your palms and run your hands through the length of your hair.

Step 6:
Comb your hair to ensure that the oil is distributed evenly, then tie it up after massaging your hair and scalp for 10 to 15 minutes. Let the oil for 30 minutes to work its way into your scalp.
You should not keep this on for longer than 24 hours as your hair will start to accumulate dirt. You can leave this on overnight as well, and remove the oil with a gentle shower in the morning.

Mistakes to avoid while oiling your hair
- Comb your hair right after oiling it:
Your scalp is relaxed at this moment, your hair is susceptible to breaking. Oil can weigh your hair down and combing it shortly after oiling it will only make it break. - Wash too soon:
Getting rid of all the excess oil is important, but not too soon! Allow the oil to sit on your scalp for at least one hour. This lets the oil penetrate through the follicles and nourish your scalp. - Overuse the oil:
Applying too much oil to your hair means you’d need to use more shampoo to wash it off. This will strip away your hair’s natural oils. - Tie your hair up:
Tying your hair up can make your hair prone to breakage. Your hair is in a vulnerable state and is already weighed down by the oil. - Massage too vigorously:
Hair might break when your scalp is massaged too quickly or violently. The best method is to gently massage your scalp in circular motions.
